MAKING A DIFFERENCE THROUGH LEADERSHIP

The Arc of Rock Island County is an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Rock Island, Illinois.  Founded in 1952, The Arc's mission is living and working in partnership with the community to support individuals with disabilities and their families. Through residential options, programming, work services, and advocacy efforts, The Arc serves the needs of individuals throughout the Quad City community.

The Arc’s programs are designed to meet a range of needs. As developmental disabilities exist on a broad spectrum, so too do The Arc’s services and supports. From 24-hour residential care to intermittent job coaching, our programs are designed to meet the varied and changing needs of the people we serve.

We staff The Arc’s programs with skilled, caring people who value above all the well-being of the individuals with whom they work. Each day, our 250 employees demonstrate The Arc’s key values: respect, commitment, initiative, teamwork, flexibility, and excellence.
